But the list extends beyond those guys. In Green Bay, he also got career-best seasons out of other defensive backs Darnell Savage Jr., Adrian Amos, and Kevin King. In Denver, Justin Simmons turned in All-Pro seasons in all three years Parker was with the Broncos. And during their Super Bowl-winning season in Philadelphia, C.J. Gardner-Johnson and Reed Blankenship combined for 10 interceptions on the year.
The Cowboys haven't lacked talent on defense, but they have lacked unpredictability. Everything in 2025 looked the same before the snap, and offenses have known exactly where to go with the ball. Parker's background suggests that's not how he wants to run a defense. His approach leans toward more movement, disguise, and putting more on the safeties to read what's developing instead of just sitting. That alone could put the safety position front and center in this reset.
